Bless Our Friends, Bless our Food

(Tune: Edelweiss)

Bless our friends, bless our food,

Come, O Lord and sit with us.

May our talks glow with peace,

May your love surround us.

Friendship and love,

May they bloom and grow,

Bloom and grow, forever.

Bless our friends, bless our food.

Come, O Lord and sit with us.

Collect for Clubwomen (Tune: America the Beautiful)

Verse I

Keep us, oh God from pettiness

At finding fault be done;

Let us be large in word and deed

Each day from sun to sun,

Help us fault finding to leave off

Self seeking not to wish;

Let’s meet each other face to face

Without a prejudice.

Verse II

May hasty judgment be left out

Our thoughts be generous;

Make us be gentle, calm, serene

And too, industrious

Grant us that we may realize

Small things may be ignored,

That all the greater things in life

No difference afford.

Verse III

Dear Lord, we ask in earnest prayer

That we may strive to know

The common human heart of all

As on through life we go.

Thy help, dear Lord, we humbly ask

To strive with heart and mind;

In all the work that we may do

Forget not to be kind.
